    Generated Narrative: ValueSet mcode-radiotherapy-technique-vs

    This value set includes codes based on the following rules:

    • Import all the codes that are contained in Teleradiotherapy Technique Value Set
    • Import all the codes that are contained in Brachytherapy Technique Value Set
    • Include these codes as defined in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-NullFlavor
      CodeDisplayDefinition
      UNC un-encoded **Description:** The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.

      **Example**: Original text or a local code has been specified but translation or encoding to the approved value set has not yet occurred due to limitations of the sending system. Original text has been captured for a PQ, but not attempt has been made to split the value and unit or to encode the unit in UCUM.

      **Usage Notes**: If it is known that it is not possible to encode the concept, OTH should be used instead. However, use of UNC does not necessarily guarantee the concept will be encodable, only that encoding has not been attempted.

      Data type properties such as original text and translations may be present when this null flavor is included.

    Description: The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.

    Example: Original text or a local code has been specified but translation or encoding to the approved value set has not yet occurred due to limitations of the sending system. Original text has been captured for a PQ, but not attempt has been made to split the value and unit or to encode the unit in UCUM.

    Usage Notes: If it is known that it is not possible to encode the concept, OTH should be used instead. However, use of UNC does not necessarily guarantee the concept will be encodable, only that encoding has not been attempted.

    Data type properties such as original text and translations may be present when this null flavor is included.

    Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

    Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
    System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
    Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
    Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
    Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
    Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
